The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Train Station is a restored railroad station in Clarksville, Tennessee. It was opened by the Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville Railroad in 1859. [1]

It was restored in 1996 to circa 1901 AD condition and includes a diesel locomotive donated by RJ Corman and a caboose donated by the Pratt Museum at Fort Campbell. It is home to the local farmers market and a local historical society. It can also be rented out for events.

The station was at first widely believed to be the one referenced in The Monkees 1966 song " Last Train to Clarksville", though this turned out to be just a coincidence.
